LXLE “Eclectica” 16.04.1 Release Candidate comes only two weeks after the release of the Beta version, which was seeded to public beta testers at the beginning of the month, but was only available for 64-bit PCs and it dind’t include the goodies Canonical introduces with the first point release of the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) OS. Therefore, the Release Candidate milestone of LXLE 16.04.1 ships now with more up-to-date GNU/Linux technologies, as well as lots of improvements, such as support for the Btrfs file system, support for multi-monitor configurations, Expose-like window picker, a lightweight app launcher, i3lock screen with autoblur, and new startup splash.
